The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 891 - 492: Outstanding Genius (Part 3)

"So my limit is the seventh level," Yan Xiaobao murmured to himself during the pause. "I will gain the most benefit from creating seventh and sixth-ranking medicine pills. Although I gain less energy from creating sixth-ranking pills, my chances of success are much higher. If I undergo the best training, I will eventually waste a lot of material, but my power will surge."

He found himself in quite a dilemma. Although he had many herbs, the seventh-level pills required an unimaginable amount of herbs for each pill, and they were becoming increasingly rare.

"I suggest you focus your efforts on crafting the seventh-ranking medicine pills." Lan Feng said from downstream of the Dantian. "You can trade some of your pills for more herbs; although you will waste quite a bit of material this way, what you need is not to become an Alchemist, not even a Master Alchemist; you need to gain power. Strong enough to strike him down," Lan Feng reminded his friend.

As Yan Xiaobao spent all his time in his room refining pills, these days passed quietly. The only time he left his room was when he needed to visit the Black Market Auction House or the Alchemy Guild to exchange for other formulas or ingredients.

Despite Yan Xiaobao’s desire to support the Ma family auction house as much as possible, he knew that they had nearly emptied their herb stock to acquire the Flying Swords he crafted. Even the Ma family could only purchase so many herbs from the mercenaries entering the city. The herbs Yan Xiaobao now needed were no longer easily attainable. The plants he needed were becoming increasingly rare and difficult to find.

That’s why Yan Xiaobao had to go to two places to acquire materials.

Initially, Yan Xiaobao was nervous that someone might comment on a second-ranking Alchemist trading seventh-level pills, but he soon discovered that the Alchemy Association asked no questions. Whether purchasing pills or selling materials, no questions were raised. This made everything much easier for Yan Xiaobao.

Though Yan Xiaobao crafted pills daily, he found his strength continuously growing. His Inner Energy felt more profound than before and had increased significantly.

With a smile on his lips, Yan Xiaobao felt the primal power surge into his body, clenching his hands. He was certain that focusing on improving his strength was the right decision.

"The annual medicine pill auction begins tomorrow. Two days after the auction starts, the Alchemist competition will also begin. I think I’ve trained enough for the competition," Yan Xiaobao told Lan Feng, while trying to convince himself that he had mastered pill crafting. Not knowing the strength of his opponents was enough to make him anxious.

"Are you planning to sell any pills at the auction?" Lan Feng asked curiously, but Yan Xiaobao just shook his head. "All the pills I have are seventh-level pills. Although they are highly ranked, this is the annual pill auction. Many Masters have saved all their pills throughout the year and will auction them. I don’t want to compete with them; those buying pills are here for those revered Masters’ pills, not simple seventh-grade pills like mine. Holding onto them and selling them in a few weeks will yield greater profits, as everyone is selling now, hoping to achieve a good price, which will deplete the market.
